The 2019 All-Ireland Football championship roared back into life this weekend with games in each of the provinces.

There major shock to occur happened in Munster on Saturday evening as Limerick defeated Tipperary in the Munster championship for the first time in a decade at Semple Stadium.

Munster Championship

The one big storyline to emerge from the All-Ireland football championship incredibly came from the Limerick footballers as they bridged a seven-year gap to pick up their first Munster Championship victory since 2012 with a deserved triumph over Tipperary.

Playing away from home in Semple Stadium, Limerick put in a
near faultless display to comfortable win out 3-11 to 1-10 over the Premier
County who were in an All-Ireland semi-final as recently as 2017.

Limerick started the brighter and lead for the majority of
the half with their scores coming from all over the field, including
centre-back Iain Corbett. However, the home side would register three of the
final four scores of the half as the sides headed into the break level at 0-8
each.

Limerick once again made most of the early running in the
half and deservedly notched the first goal of the game through the ever-impressive
Corbett.

Cillian Fahy would extend the lead to seven with his sides
second goal minutes later as Limerick seemed on course for a famous win.

Tipp did reply with a goal of their own through Michael Quinlivan but Peter Nash would pop up with Limerick’s third to seal a seven point victory and book a place in the Munster semi-final against Cork on June 1.
